The Final Step

Space-time vibrated.

Luo Feng materialized out of thin air, deeper within the True God Path of the 'Divine Power Route'.

“Hmm?” Luo Feng’s gaze swept across. “A river?”

The path ahead was still a corridor, with walls on either side still adorned with countless specimens. But this vast and deep corridor before him was, in fact, a river!

“This is…”

Luo Feng stood above the river, hovering in astonishment as he looked down. A slight probe with his divine power revealed that this river contained an endless surge of unowned divine power! It was just like the unowned divine power in the 'Ocean of Laws' of the Original Universe, completely available for him to absorb and utilize.

“Unowned divine power, and so much of it,” Luo Feng exclaimed in pleasant surprise. One must remember that his divine body was already 100,000 kilometers tall, and the corridor’s width and height were both around 100 million kilometers, with its length stretching for tens of billions of kilometers. Such an enormous corridor… nearly half of it was filled with this river condensed from divine power.

“That God King left so much unowned divine power here…” Luo Feng mused. “Later cultivators come here to comprehend; once they achieve enlightenment and their divine body breaks through, they naturally need divine power for replenishment. Is that the reason?”

Whatever the reason.

It would be foolish not to absorb divine power when it’s available.

“Whoosh~~~”

With a thought from Luo Feng, the divine power surging in the river below was immediately absorbed by him. He had indeed consumed a considerable amount of divine power during the first to third levels of Wuqilou, especially his Golden Horn Behemoth clone. Furthermore, when his Earthling original body had broken through to a 16,000-fold life gene level, to replenish its divine power, the Golden Horn Behemoth clone’s divine body had always been severely lacking.

“Since there’s so much divine power, I’ll seize this opportunity to push my divine body to the highest life gene level I’ve currently comprehended,” Luo Feng decided without hesitation.

“Divine body, restructure!” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up.

Boom!

Luo Feng’s Earthling original body instantly disintegrated completely, transforming into a vast surge of divine power. Each particle of divine power underwent a restructuring of its life essence, then rapidly condensed with a roar, reforming into his Earthling original body.

“Whoosh!” Around Luo Feng’s divine body, the surrounding river was frantically absorbed, rapidly replenishing his divine body.

At the same moment—

The Golden Horn Behemoth clone also underwent divine body restructuring, then immediately began replenishing its divine power.

Moments later, everything ceased.

“My divine body’s life gene level has now reached approximately 28,000 times. But it’s still far from my goal!” Luo Feng thought to himself. When he first set out for God King Valley, his 'Endless Abyssal Sea' in the distant Original Universe had, for the first time, obtained a large quantity of True God blood, scales, and fur, allowing him to break through and comprehend a life structure at the 16,000-fold life gene level.

In the period that followed.

While Luo Feng was traveling, and especially during his wait on the third level of Wuqilou for successive groups of soldiers to arrive, under the 10,000-fold time acceleration in the cultivation space, Luo Feng achieved continuous breakthroughs, finally reaching the 28,000-fold life gene level, which was a minor bottleneck in a short period.

At this moment, Luo Feng naturally seized the opportunity to absorb divine power, instantly reaching his strongest divine body state.

In truth, despite having the innate secret technique 'Creation' and a large quantity of True God blood, fur, and scales, he hadn't yet reached the 30,000-fold level of the first stage in one go, which left Luo Feng somewhat disappointed.

After all, 30,000-fold was merely the first stage.

…

“Life diagrams!” Luo Feng stepped onto the divine power river, looking at the increasingly complex three-dimensional life diagrams on both sides.

Flesh-and-blood type, rock type, energy type, metal type, plant type…

There were numerous three-dimensional life diagrams, ranging from over 10,000-fold to 30,000-fold life gene levels. Luo Feng mastered the life diagrams of flesh-and-blood type life forms the fastest; for others, it was significantly slower. Luo Feng primarily focused on flesh-and-blood types, temporarily setting others aside… Of course, studying flesh-and-blood types also brought Luo Feng additional insights into other life categories.

Time flowed by day by day.

While Luo Feng was studying these 'life diagrams', in the distant Original Universe, the Endless Abyssal Sea was also conducting research. And within the cultivation space of the inheritance space, the Golden Horn Behemoth clone was performing experiments repeatedly.

On merely the fifteenth day.

Naturally…

Luo Feng achieved another breakthrough, directly boosting his life gene level to approximately 32,000 times. This was mainly because Luo Feng’s foundation was already strong, having reached 28,000-fold. With a slight touch of insight at this moment, he naturally broke through into the 30,000-fold gene stage in one go.

“Boom!” Around the towering Luo Feng, the river surged, encircling him and continuously pouring into his body.

In the first stage of the divine body, its height could instantly increase tenfold (provided there was enough divine power). As he absorbed a vast amount of divine power…

Luo Feng quickly soared to a height of a million kilometers! Even the Golden Horn Behemoth clone also reached a length of a million kilometers.

“Haha…”

Luo Feng laughed heartily, standing at the end of this river corridor. It was another wooden door, and on it was another incomplete life diagram.

“Still a flesh-and-blood type life form?” Luo Feng wondered. “Could it be that the God King’s test on the wooden door is tailored to the type of soldier entering? If a plant-type soldier entered, would the wooden door’s test be a life diagram of a plant-type powerhouse?”

Luo Feng didn’t hesitate and quickly completed this life diagram.

This life diagram was at the 30,000-fold life gene level, and Luo Feng quickly figured it out with a little thought.

Buzz!

The wooden door emitted a blue light that enveloped Luo Feng, directly teleporting him deeper into this True God Path.

…

Luo Feng materialized out of thin air, and before him was still a river corridor, with walls on either side.

However, this river corridor was even vaster and deeper, and the three-dimensional life diagrams on the walls were even more intricate and immense.

“The first section was perfect life, the second was 10,000-fold to 30,000-fold. This third section… should be 30,000-fold to 60,000-fold.” Luo Feng’s gaze swept across, and he felt an immense sense of profound mystery. “For the previous two sections, I already had a foundation, so I passed through easily. This section… I’m afraid it won’t be so simple.”

Luo Feng flew forward, then looked at the first flesh-and-blood type life diagram on the right.

According to Luo Feng’s conjecture…

This should be a life diagram with a life gene level of around 35,000-fold. Yet, this single life diagram immediately stumped Luo Feng; there was much he didn’t understand and couldn’t comprehend.

If he couldn’t comprehend it, looking at it was useless; he couldn’t recall it once he closed his eyes.

Only by comprehending it could he remember it.

Luo Feng temporarily abandoned other life categories, focusing solely on flesh-and-blood type life forms.

For the first diagram, Luo Feng stood motionless on the river, observing it for over three months. While he watched… the Endless Abyssal Sea in the Original Universe was using the innate secret technique 'Creation' to observe the blood, scales, and fur of those True Gods, while the Golden Horn Behemoth clone continuously researched and analyzed it with the aid of 10,000-fold time acceleration.

What seemed like over three months was, in reality, thousands of years, and he finally comprehended it.

For the second diagram, Luo Feng stood and observed for over a month.

For the third diagram, Luo Feng observed for over half a year.

…

Luo Feng only focused on the life diagrams of flesh-and-blood type life forms, examining them from lower to higher levels. He then meticulously researched them by correlating them with the life structures of True Gods observed by the Endless Abyssal Sea’s innate secret technique 'Creation'. Under 10,000-fold time acceleration, he continuously studied the meaning behind each different variation in the life diagrams.

Profound!

It was as if he was creating a secret technique.

And the life gene level Luo Feng had mastered was continuously increasing.

In a year and a half month, Luo Feng’s life gene level soared to 40,000-fold.

It took him approximately 80 years to reach 50,000-fold.

However, for the next thousand years, Luo Feng remained stuck in this section, unable to break through.

Luo Feng was reluctant to leave.

This True God Path was absolutely an invaluable treasure ground. After all, even the Duan Dong River lineage didn’t possess such a detailed series of life diagrams! He had to observe and comprehend here, because once he left, anything he hadn’t fully comprehended would be directly forgotten, impossible to recall.

“One epoch!”

“The titled mission only grants a maximum of one epoch. By the next epoch, it will be the next mission period.”

“I must do my best, my utmost, to gain more within this epoch.”

“Such precious life diagrams are all laid out before me, free for me to observe. And I also have the innate secret technique 'Creation'. These two great advantages are assisting me… If I miss this opportunity, it might take me a million times longer, or even more, in the future, and I still might not gain as much as I can now.” Luo Feng dared not relax in the slightest.

…

Outside Wuqilou.

Whoosh!

A soldier was teleported out.

On the third level of the silver-gray palace next to Wuqilou, by the railing, stood four figures, each looking down at the teleported soldier.

“Inside Wuqilou, the other soldiers are being teleported out one by one; their time limit on the fourth level has expired. That soldier, Yinhe… has achieved more, so he can stay longer. But I wonder how much he has gained on the True God Path of the Divine Power Route!” the burly commander exclaimed, while the other three commanders also looked at Wuqilou.

They couldn’t see inside.

But they knew very well…

Since soldier Yinhe had advanced deeper into the 'True God Path', it meant he could enter the fifth level and continue upwards!

“The entire titled mission lasts a maximum of one epoch. And on the fourth level of Wuqilou, he can only stay for half an epoch at most!”

“I wonder how much he’ll gain in this half-epoch.”

…

Luo Feng himself had no idea that he could only stay on this True God Path for a maximum of half an epoch. In truth, knowing wouldn’t have mattered, as he was already comprehending with all his might, comprehending like a madman.

In the 4200th year on this True God Path.

Before a colossal life diagram near the end of the entire corridor, Luo Feng stood motionless. He had been standing there for over two thousand years.

Suddenly…

He smiled, his previously furrowed brows relaxing, filled with ease. With a single moment of insight, everything became clear! This feeling of sudden enlightenment was incredibly wonderful.

“So that’s how it is.” Luo Feng laughed loudly.

Boom!

His divine body instantly disintegrated, followed by a drastic transformation of each particle of divine power. Then, with a roar, it re-condensed, while the surging river around him converged, and a towering divine body continuously expanded… Soon, Luo Feng’s feet were treading on the corridor’s floor, and his head nearly touched the highest point of the corridor.

Luo Feng… his divine body had already reached the level of 100 million kilometers in height.

His life gene level had broken through to 60,000-fold!

A colossal body of 100 million kilometers, yet without the slightest sense of clumsiness. Unlike other massive life forms that struggled to move, Luo Feng, with his 60,000-fold life gene level and such an enormous divine body, would only be stronger in terms of speed, agility, and so on.

Both the Earthling original body and the Golden Horn Behemoth clone had reached their peak states.

“Next section!”

Luo Feng quickly shrunk down, walked to the wooden door, and spent some time completing the incomplete life diagram.

Whoosh!

A blue light shone, teleporting Luo Feng to the other end.

…

Before him was a corridor, with walls on both sides. There was no divine power river within the corridor, nor were there any specimens on the walls; it was completely blank.

“Blank…” Luo Feng was stunned.
